"Glad to Be Alive" Sex: Difference between revisions

'''Barney:''' 'Thank God we're alive' sex! It's even better than 'I can't believe you just proposed to me' sex, which I've only had like, [[Magnificent Bastard|four or five times]].|''[[How I Met Your Mother]]''}}

== Anime ==

* In ''[[Wicked City]]'', [[Dark Action Girl]] Makie and [[Badass Normal]] Taki have sex after a Black World extremist ambush nearly kills them both. {{spoiler|In a subversion, it's actually a HUGE plot point: a part of [[The Plan]] of their boss Giuseppe included them getting emotionally and sexually involved since not only Makie would became a [[Pregnant Badass]] and experience a big power-up from that... but her and Taki's future child would be ''the first human/demon hybrid kid'', the living proof that humans and demons ''can'' live in peace together.}}

* Done in the [[J. Michael Straczynski]] upgrade of [[Squadron Supreme]], [[Supreme Power]]. Mark Milton's government-assigned parents had just seen him vaporize a puppy by accident with [[Heat Vision]] that nobody knew he had and were so overwhelmed that they sneaked off into a closet with no cameras and did the nasty.

== Film ==

* The end of most [[James Bond]] films.

* At least one of the many sex scenes in ''[[wikipedia:Nine 1/2 Weeks|9 1/2 Weeks]]'', with Kim Basinger and Mickey Rourke.

* Okay, so maybe {{spoiler|Hermione and Ron's kiss in the Chamber of Secrets towards the end of [[Harry Potter (film)|Deathly Hallows 2]]}} technically doesn't qualify because it's not really sex, but think about it - it's practically the trope itself in PG-13 form.

* An interesting example in the Japanese film Departures. The guy comes home from his first session of preparing corpses for burial, and quickly gets hot for his wife. It's not that he was ever in danger of dying, but being around a corpse just spooked him so much that he wants to have sex so he can feel alive again. (Made more interesting by the fact that his wife doesn't actually know what his job is.)

* At the end of ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?]]'', this is likely what Jessica has in mind when she urges Roger to come home with the promise of a carrot cake.

== Fan Fiction ==

* The Code Geass fanfic [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6969408/1/ In the End] it's not exactly clear what happens in the haystack between {{spoiler|Lelouch and C.C after she bathes him}} but the author mentions how they were sleeping side-by-side when {{spoiler|Orange found them}}.

* Somewhere on the internet, there ''has'' to be a [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Post-Third Impact]] story where Shinji and Asuka do this after the camera had cut away...

** There's a thousand. [http://www.fakku.net/viewmanga.php?id=4259 Start here], move through the rest. (Warning, entire site is NSFW.)

* In the [[DC Nation]] universe, [http://community.livejournal.com/jla_watchtower/481353.html this] and [[Intimate Psychotherapy]] happened between Beast Boy and Fauna after [http://community.livejournal.com/jla_watchtower/tag/plague Ra's al Ghul's plague]. Their altered, animal-based physiology left them ''completely immune'' to the plague's effects while virtually everyone else was dying around them, and one of the ingredients Ra's used in the plague was some of Gar's blood.

* A ''[[Persona 4]]'' fanfic, "[http://fasterassembly.livejournal.com/25712.html Goes Down Alone]'' is pretty much about [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]] culminating into this trope. It's actually more dramatic than [[Not Safe for Work|erotic]].

* Ken Wolfe's series of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' fics (found on the [[Sailor Moon/Fanfic Recs|Sailor Moon Fanfics Recs page]]) have as a mostly-background feature an affair between Minako and Ami, founded on this following their revivals after fighting Beryl {{spoiler|, and later, Galaxia}}.

* Disturbingly enough, many writers that are [[Most Writers Are Male|usually male]] will use this after a female character has been the target of an [[Attempted Rape]]. One Historical Fiction novel "Two Brothers" uses after a [[Love Interest]] has been rescued ''after'' being raped. "I feel so dirty....will you make me clean?"

** In a situation that was tacky even for a [[Hentai]] game, one ''Critical Point'' scenario involved this right after the female character had been raped BY THE SAME GUY she was now coming on to! Technically, he was not in control of himself at the time and it wasn't consensual for either of them, but still, "fixing" the rape by having consensual sex directly afterwards...

* One of the ways to "Turn Sexual Tension into Mad, Passionate Sex " in [[The Action Hero's Handbook|The Action Heros Handbook]].

* In Teresa Frohock's ''[[Miserere: An Autumn Tale|Miserere an Autumn Tale]]'', Lucian and Rachael get as far as the passionate kissing after a hard-won victory before they remember their past. Lucian tells her he's sorry; she tells him that no, he's not.

* In ''East of the Sun, West of the Moon'' (from the [[Council Wars]] series by [[John Ringo]]) Megan's sexual relationship with Herzer has been delayed because she is recovering from repeated rape and [[Stockholm Syndrome]]. She finally demands sex after {{spoiler|watching her friend get killed by a mutant-scorpion-''thing''}} and downing several shots of vodka to steady her nerves. Fortunately she falls asleep before he can comply, as that doesn't really count as [[Safe, Sane, and Consensual]]

** In the movie, {{spoiler|Kaylee and Simon}} use this as their [[Relationship Upgrade]]. It's also implied in this exchange during a lull in a battle:

* Faith and Xander have sex in the ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' episode "The Zeppo." Faith implies she may like to indulge in this trope often, stating outright "Isn't it crazy how slaying just always makes you hungry and horny?"

* Inverted in the first seasons episode ''Ceasefire'' of ''[[M*A*S*H (television)|Mash]]''. Thinking the war is over, Hawkeye breaks all relationships with nurses he has been bedding by faking being married.

{{quote|Death to everyone

Is gonna come

And it makes hosin' much more fun }}

* The (though optional) sex scene between {{spoiler|Madison and Ethan}} in ''[[Heavy Rain]]'' could definitely qualify, considering the former almost got killed by [[Mad Doctor|Adrian Baker]] and almost raped by [[Attempted Rape|Paco Mendes]], and the latter had a near death experience with a drug dealer {{spoiler|whom he may or may not have then killed}}.

* ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]: Presumably, this is how the Boss and the Sorrow produced a child.

** With ''[[Metal Gear Solid|MGS3]]'' being a [[James Bond]] [[Shout-Out]], {{spoiler|Naked Snake and EVA}} had this in the ending [[Cutscene]].

* The first H Scene between Hisao and {{spoiler|Lilly}} durning her route in the [[Visual Novel]] ''[[Katawa Shoujo]]'' for all intents and pourposes boils down this {{spoiler|because it happens after Hisao experiences a heart flutter. It is more "Glad you're alive sex" in Lilly's case.}}

* Unusually done in ''[[The Order of the Stick|Order of the Stick]]'' where Roy has sex with his girlfriend Celia after {{spoiler|coming back from the dead}}.
